April 23, 2025- President Donald Trump said the 145% tariffs he imposed on Chinese imports will eventually “come down substantially” as he expressed optimism about future talks to reach a U.S.-China trade deal, according to USA Today. The White House has placed tariffs on several dozen countries, causing the stock market to stumble and interest rates to increase on U.S. debt as investors worry about slower economic growth and higher inflationary pressures, according to AP News. The Trump administration has met for talks with counterparts from Japan, India, South Korea, the European Union, Canada and Mexico, among other nations. But Trump has shown no public indications that he plans to pullback his baseline 10% tariff, according to AP News.
